What do you know about Martin Luther? Are you able to separate the truth from the fiction?
Andreas Malessa has written this book which contains 25 chapters with ideas about if Luther was a warmonger, the first Lutheran, was married in secret, and much more.
About the Author-
Andreas Malessa currently lives with his wife in Germany. They have two daughters. He is a radio and television journalist, author, lyricist, and theologian.
My thoughts-
I began reading this book with little knowledge of Martin Luther. When I finished reading the book, I felt I knew more about him. Now when I read about Luther, I will have a better idea about what is true or false. I really appreciate that Malessa wrote this book. I’m sure it will help many people who have ideas about what Luther did or said, and now they will have a greater sense about the truth.
The bibliography was very helpful. It lists many sources, so the readers and I can do more research about the truth of what Luther said and did. There are subject matters like drinking and sex in several of the chapters, so if younger children want to learn about Martin Luther, I would read the book with them.
This is a good and well written book. I recommend it to you!
